IOS 15 boasts a number of accessibility enhancements, but my favorite thus far is the ability to customize display and text size settings on an app-by-app basis. iOS 15: Accessibility improvementsĬhanges to accessibility are often the most overlooked in an iOS update, and that's a shame as those accessibility tweaks often make iPhones easier to use for everyone. The end result should be improved iCloud backup times, better streaming from Apple TV and Apple Music (and potentially third-party apps), snappy iCloud Photo syncing and quick downloads of Apple News Plus articles for offline reading.

This will only be of interest to anyone with an iPhone 12 model - or the iPhone 13 devices that come out in the fall since they'll be 5G-ready, too - but Apple says its enhancing some system functions and built-in apps to connect to 5G networks faster. Those contacts will be able to access your Apple account should you pass into the next life, making your subscriptions to Apple News and Apple Fitness the least of your concerns. In a related move, Apple is also letting you designate Legacy Contacts for your Apple ID. That way, should you lose access to your Apple ID, you can tap one of those contacts to help simplify the recovery process. IOS 15 addresses that by letting you designate trusted friends and family as your Account Recovery Contact. Since then, Apple ID has grown to encompass every Apple service, and should you ever lose access to your password or account, you are - to use a precise technical term - hosed.


iOS 15: Apple ID RecoveryĪpple came up with the idea of an Apple ID back when it started selling songs through iTunes and needed a way to make enforce digital rights management so that only you (and a few authorized guests) could play iTunes purchases. But iOS 15's Siri can share that image without a problem, even recognizing which contact you meant.Īnd in iOS 15, if you ask Siri to share something on your iPhone screen that it can't, the assistant will offer to take a screenshot and send that instead.

Ask iOS 14's Siri to share that with a contact, and you'll get an apology about how that's beyond the digital assistant's current capabilities.
